Computer vision: learning to see the world | The Royal Society

The Bakerian Prize Lecture 2023 is given by Professor Andrew Zisserman

Computer vision is a field where the goal is to enable machines to understand and use the visual content of images and videos in a similar manner to humans. In this talk Professor Zisserman will describe how machines are able to learn to recognise objects and actions from a temporal sequence of video frames, together with the audio and speech that accompanies them - an approach that is inspired by how infants may 'learn to see'. He will show applications of computer vision to image search, to recognising sign language (BSL), and to generating video descriptions for the visually impaired.

The Royal Society is a Fellowship of many of the world's most eminent scientists and is the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence.
